Have you checked for injector pulse?

If you give the engine fuel will it run?

No I have not checked pulse, but sprayed starting fluid and it will not fire.

Is the car there with you?

I'm thinking timing chain .

Customer replied996 days and 10 hours ago.

Yes, it is in my driveway. I still have no spark???

Customer replied996 days and 10 hours ago.

How do I check if it is the timing chain without pulling the valve cover??

Customer replied996 days and 10 hours ago.

Are you still there???

Picture
Expert:  JHoop replied996 days and 10 hours ago.

Still here. Do you have the GM no start charts?

Customer replied996 days and 10 hours ago.

I do not have the charts, not sure what you are talking about, can you answer my question about the timing chain??

Picture
Expert:  JHoop replied996 days and 9 hours ago.

A compression check would verify that there is a timing issue.

Customer replied995 days and 6 hours ago.

I have not accepted answer because I do not know if I got an acceptable answer or will need more help. I do not want to pay for this twice if I have more questions. I work out of town and will not have a chance to try your suggestions throught the chart you sent me till next weekend. That is why I am trying to repair the car---it is my beater car so I can keep the miles off my newer vehicles---it is very frustrating that I can't work on it in the evenings since it is at my house and I am two hours away.
